Rivers certainly is a candidate for MVP. I think Clay Matthews has the strongest case so far, though. But of course the NFL wouldn't give the league MVP to a defensive player. Let's just hope that Peyton Manning doesn't win another one...

It doesn't help that the Chargers also have the 26th ranked scoring defense in the NFL. With terrible special teams and a D that gives up over 21 PPG, you might make the playoffs but you won't get past the first round.

Dude, how can you say Rivers deserves that fucking trophy when his team gets to 8-8? That's ridiculous. Most Valuable Player means exactly that, Most Valuable Player. While Rivers is beasting numbers wise, he can't get his team in the win column, and that's a big chink in the armor of his MVP campaign. The MVP should be someone who gets their team to the playoffs, and Rivers won't do that.

He is playing behind a garbage line, with no running back help and no receivers of worth. His defense is terrible and the special teams is even worse. If they make it to 8-8, it is because Philip Rivers is inhuman.

The only reason Culpepper didn't win MVP because it was the year Peyton Manning picked apart the entire league and threw 49 touchdowns. He would have won the MVP if not for that so your stupid-ass example is null-and-void.
